Even though it has been over a week since Halloween, my son still has a lot of candy left. Ever the creative thinker, he has found a solution for what to do with all this candy.
"I'm going to sell it," he announced.
"You're going to sell it?" I asked. "To whom?"
"To my friends."
I couldn't understand why anyone would need more Halloween candy. "Don't you think people have had enough?"
He shook his head. "No. They already ate all of theirs. I'm sure they want more. They'll buy mine."
Okay, then. So, the boy is going to take some to school. Let's see how well he's able to market his snack-size Snickers bars.
A quarter each and he could have ten bucks in no time. Clever dude.
ReplyDeleteI would've had my candy gone by now.
He is clever! I'm not sure how many he actually sold, though.
Deleteoy, shouldn't he just share it and give it away to the poor ones instead of doing it the American way and selling it?
ReplyDeleteThere's a few dentists around here that collect candy and do just that. Guess Bubba wanted a few extra dollars.
DeleteI must admit its what we do.
ReplyDeletePut it in what was a posh coffee jar, decorate the lid with a circle of Christmas paper, tie on a piece of ribbon and a label. They sell for £1.50 at the Church Christmas Fayre were Mr T is Deacon
I bet they look cute all wrapped up in that jar. Good thing to do!
DeleteIt's not a bad idea. When I was in school, I totally would have bought some leftover Halloween candy.
ReplyDeleteMy boy certainly knows how to work the market.
DeleteI traded mine away when i was his age, got a bit of dough. Hopefully he'll get some.
ReplyDeleteHope you got some good stuff when you did the trade thing.
DeleteYou go, Bubba. Earn some small bucks now and some bigger ones later.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yep. He's got the right idea.
DeleteBubba is enterprising for sure. Give us an update on his sales. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to ask how he did.
DeleteCareful. Schools tend to be picky about who can sell on campus. It might be against the rules. He could get into trouble for this.
ReplyDeleteHnmm. I'll have to ask him about that. I've never heard of any rules against it, but we'll double check.
DeleteHappy Holidays, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard.
DeleteI would never have thought to sell it. I gave away the candy I didn't care for, though. ;)
ReplyDeleteI threw away the candy I didn't like. Always kept the chocolate stuff, though! :)
DeleteHe's a clever salesman, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is!
DeleteSmart move. I bet he sells it all.
ReplyDeleteI think he made a dent in it!
DeleteYour son has a smart head for business Sherry. Good luck to him.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
He's always thinking about things like this.
DeleteI used to just throw my leftover candy out after a while. Your son's a lot more entrepreneurial than I was back then, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd go through the trouble of selling it. But good for him for giving it a shot.
DeleteIt will be funny if your son goes into business as an adult. You'll have a funny story to share with him.
ReplyDeleteI really wonder what he'll end up doing. He has such a creative mind!
DeleteLOL! Too funny! You have to tell us how he does! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI never did get the report. I'll have to follow up.
DeleteHe has a business head on his shoulders!
ReplyDeleteThat he does.
DeleteThat kid is bound for big things!
ReplyDeleteBtw, do you know there’s a Children’s Book Festival coming up in Savannah?
DeleteYes, he is.
DeleteI did not know about the Savannah Children's Book Festival. I don't think I can do it this year, but next year, when my Bubba and Squirt book comes out, I'll see if I can. Thanks for telling me about it.
DeleteHaha... your son is funny... I hope he made a little change xox
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too.
DeleteHe is funny but smart!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is.
DeleteEnterprising, and saving his own teeth too. He'll go far!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right.
